love puppy place!
My daughter, a first grader, has read all the Puppy Place books. She loves Maggie and Max just as much as the others. These books are a quick, cute read. They all have a great message about caring for animals.

Fantastic first book for my preschooler to read herself
This is the first book (ever) that my 4.5 year old read. She had been showing interest in reading, knows her letters and letter sounds so I got this book. Voila! Twenty minutes later with much prompting and encouragement she sounded out all the words in this book. My only objection is to the word "one" which is tricky for a first timer.

Life saving sleep strategies!
THANK YOU, not only to Tracy Hogg but to those whose rave reviews inspired me to get this book! At about two weeks my precious daughter stopped sleeping in her bed, and our pillow-top mattress isn't safe for co-sleeping so we had to hold her. From the day I began implementing Tracy's suggested routine - NOT schedule; it is about the order of activities, not exact times - my daughter, then two ...

Baby Loves this Book
My baby gets more excited looking at the pages of this book than any other black and white book we have. He is currently 9 weeks old and it is the first toy he was interested in starting a few weeks ago. We stand it up next to him in his crib and he kicks his legs and reaches for it.

Absolutly ADORABLE
I am so impressed with this book. It captivated my 5 year old twin daughters from the first page. What a great idea for a book, a kitten thinking the moon is a sauser of milk; and the adventures the little guy has getting to it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has little ones and enjoys bedtime stories or anytime stories!!

7 year old loves reading this!
My son read this book in school and has fallen in love with all the silly pigeon antics and loves to read the book to me. His favorite part, of course, is to yell "I Want A Puppy Right Here Right Now!" We enjoy all the pigeon books!

a sweet good night story, and a nice hardcover book!
My son likes (but doesn't love) the Wonderpets, but he got this book as a gift for Christmas. I was surprised that he LOVES it and it has become his favorite bedtime story. The text is very cute and well written and it sounds like the show. The book itself is a nice hardover, and I would buy more books like this because they last longer than the softcover books that tend to rip. Overall a really ...

Wonderful
Pictures are out of this world. They capture the love and affection this golden girl has for her adopted babies. Always a mother, never to care if they are hers or not. I am a golden lover and this book will be passed around in the family. It is now my coffee table book for everyone to see.

Very good series
I wrote a review for the series under the book "Snowball" so my extended comments are located there. So far, my daughter (first grade) has covered the first three books in the series and the quality is equally high among all of them. All books seem to be successive but I only know the sequence for the first three: Goldie, Snowball, Shadow, Rascal, and Buddy. Reading them in sequence is not ...

Pretending To Be Normal Does Stress You Out!!
I'm the one who is fed up with pretending to be normal like anyone else. I have been feeling distant and different from other people like she felt in her university days. I usually felt neglected, alienated, and discounted when interacting with other people. They superficially seemed nice to me, but actually they implicitly hated me. That was why I could trust nobody else. I often felt left ...

Cody (The Puppy Place)
Ellen Miles

Scholastic, 2009

Charles and Lizzie Peterson have a special talent when it comes to taking care of animals and somehow there always seems to be another dog who needs their help! So it is no surprise that Lizzie offers to lend a hand when an overly energetic Dalmatian is left on their porch. But after Cody destroys Lizzie's Halloween costume she's not certain she can convince the perfect owner to adopt him. Will this pup's curious teeth cost him a home? With ...

THE SWEETEST LITTLE BOOK
Since there is always a child at my home, I was running out of books for them and decided I needed to add a few. I am a big fan of books written years ago and decided to purchase this book. I am so glad I did. It is the sweetest story, and I am always asked to read the book over and over again. I find that books written a long time ago have wonderful lessons and appeal to children a great ...

informational, but still a lot of fun!
My 4 year old son is a huge Diego fan, and this is one of his favorite Diego books. It's a little short, like most of the Diego books, but it still keeps his attention. My son really likes sea turtles (the Tuga character in particular) and anything to do with the beach and ocean. He likes counting the turtle eggs and the flags that Diego has place on the beach. A good message about cleaning ...

If you love kissing your kids
My 2-year old twins love this book! It is an especially good first book. This book and Elmer the Patchwork Elephant are probably their two favorites. This book is unique too because it naturally allows you to kiss your kids in all the different ways demonstrated by the animals in the book. Kids love this and will laugh and smile all the way through. What could be better than that!
